The Global X U.S. Infrastructure Development ETF seeks to invest in companies that stand to benefit from a potential increase in infrastructure activity in the United States, including those involved in the production of raw materials, heavy equipment, engineering, and construction. The American Society of Civil Engineers assigned a letter grade of C- to the state of U.S. infrastructure in its 2021 report card, highlighting the need for investment. In addition to the prospect of federal stimulus, infrastructure investments may be catalyzed by state, local and public-private partnerships on an ongoing basis.
